14th European Workshop on Thermal & ECLS Software

7-8 November 2000
ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands

Introduction

The 14th European Workshop on Thermal and ECLS Software took place in ESTEC, 7-8 November 2000. As in previous years it was organised by the Analysis and Verification Section of the Thermal and Structures Division, ESA/ESTEC.

The goals of the Workshop have traditionally been:
– to promote the exchange of views and experiences amongst the users of the Agency’s (and others) software packages in the fields of thermal control and ECLS
– to provide a forum for contact between end users and software developers
– to present new versions of the software tools and to solicit feedback for the development.

This year, out of a total of 17 presentations, 9 originated from ESA or contractors working under ESA related contracts, and 8 originated from other industries and organisations.

Main subjects of discussion have been recorded and Proceedings will be available in the ESA WPP series (number and date to be announced). A preliminary pdf version of these proceedings will also be available on this web page at the end of June 2001.
